Open and close ikea frytur blinds from within homeassistant

Configuration
1

I just got my ikea frytur blinds a few days ago, and I also bought a rpi4 with a conbee2. Some rough steps I did:

I am receiving all the messages inside MQTT in homeassistant :partying_face:

Message 46 received on zigbee2mqtt/0x588e81fffe2b659c at 2:39 PM:

{
    "action": "open",
    "click": "open",
    "linkquality": 46
}
..
Message 39 received on zigbee2mqtt/0x680ae2fffec34b88 at 2:38 PM:

{
    "battery": 35,
    "linkquality": 46,
    "position": 99,
    "update_available": false
}

But I what I don’t understand yet is how I send out events to my blinds? I am beginning to think that zigbee2mqtt is only for reading sensor data.

I can’t find any documentation of how I’d control my blinds. Do I still need to buy a TRÅDFRI gateway?

Hey, I’m using their gateway for everything, however looking at the docs:


You should be able to publish commands.
Looking at some issues, it’s probably done like this: {"state":"OPEN"} or {"position":50}
